Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Chapter 158 The Journey Begins Six Months Later

"It will take another twenty minutes, sir," Jarvis replied.

Tony nodded, subconsciously rubbing his left wrist. The hidden injury on his left wrist had disappeared under the effects of the medicine, but the habitual action remained.

He looked at Lin Yi, who was lounging lazily on the sofa opposite him: "Lin, do you want to try this machine? I'm curious to see how much impact you can generate now."

Lin Yi, who had been lounging on the sofa with his head tilted back, sat up upon hearing this and yawned: "You think this thing can measure my strength?"

"To be honest, I'm not even sure how much data I can generate with one punch right now, but I don't think it'll be a problem to send this machine and its foundation out of Earth's orbit with one punch."

Tony shrugged. "Okay, never mind." He expected this answer.

After resting for a while, Tony's breathing became completely steady.

"The stability and effectiveness of the medicine are even better than expected. I think it's time to give it to Natasha and the others."

"The sooner we strengthen our skills, the sooner we can adapt, and the sooner we can embark on our journey."

Tony has personally verified the effects of the super-gene evolution serum. Setting off sooner will allow them to find suitable materials to optimize the serum and increase production.

Tony had previously stated that the reason the drug could not be mass-produced was because the core materials were difficult to obtain and synthesize.

Lin Yi had asked Tony if he wanted to go to other planets to help search, but Tony refused.

"The current planned quantity of the drug is sufficient; finding new materials and optimizing the manufacturing process were among the goals of this journey."

"We can't rely on you for all of this; otherwise, we'd make a laughingstock of ourselves. It'd be much easier to just wait for you to take down the enemy's stronghold!"

These are Tony's exact words. Lin Yi isn't a babysitter. If everything depends on Lin Yi, it would be better not to bother with all this in the first place, but just stay on Earth and pray that Lin Yi will fight his way back and forth behind enemy lines, take care of them, and then bring peace to the universe.

"Oh, by the way," Tony changed the subject, looking at the decorative badge on Lin Yi's chest, "Can I borrow your shield for a few more days?"

"We haven't finished discussing the spacecraft life support system and power optimization plan he mentioned last time. Also, his anomalous frequency scanning function and special algorithm were a great help when we were disassembling the biological spacecraft."

Lin Yi nonchalantly took the sign down and placed it on the table: "I don't care, it depends on whether he's willing or not."

The shield snapped into a mechanical lizard: "Okay, the reward is the same as last time, plus two bottles of the new flavored premium lubricant! Mint and citrus flavors!"

Tony smiled: "Deal!" He had already figured it out. This mechanical life form seemed to have no need for an energy source, but it had very high requirements for the quality and taste of the lubricant, and the quantity required was also extremely high.

Isn't that a perfect strategy? Tony's specially formulated lubricant is far superior to that used in ordinary machinery. Although he felt he could acquire a factory to synthesize it himself, he also realized that Shield, like Lin Yi, preferred to lie down rather than sit. Having someone else do it for him only requires a small amount of his ability, which is far more convenient than building a factory from scratch!

Time flew by amidst the intense preparations.

Another half month passed, and the remaining super-gene evolution potions were basically used up.

Natasha, Clint, Rhodes, and Scott all used the serum in succession. Although their evolved physiques didn't match Tony's current state, the results were still encouraging. Moreover, the Super Gene Evolution Serum was better than the Super Soldier Serum in that it allowed the subjects to evolve steadily and continuously, rather than just receiving a one-time boost.

They didn't know where the upper limit of this slow growth lay, because Tony hadn't predicted this data either.

But as long as the result and direction are good, then there's no problem.

It is worth mentioning that, after a series of discussions and rigorous experiments, the last bottle of the Super Gene Project serum was given to Peter Parker, who already possessed extraordinary abilities.

The exceptionally stable and mild properties of the super-gene agent did not conflict with the mutated genes within Peter's body. Instead, they continuously complemented and optimized Peter's original abilities.

Peter the Spider's strength, agility, and healing abilities have also reached a new level.

Oh, by the way, the spiderlings these days can produce silk inside their bodies, just like Maguire's version...

Peter initially had some trouble accepting it, after all, this thing made him feel like he was evolving into a monster.

Of course, it's only a matter of time before the "it's actually delicious" phenomenon takes hold.

Time continued to pass, and the people who received the super-gene evolution potion continued to adapt to and develop their new systems and abilities, preparing for the upcoming voyage.

Meanwhile, with the shield's efficient assistance, Tony has mastered almost all the technologies of the bio-spaceship, including bio-energy conversion, circulation, and that unique intra-cabin bio-pressure resistance technology.

However, Tony did not directly apply the bio-spacecraft technology to the interplanetary spaceship they were building.

Just imagining traveling through the universe in a living spaceship that moves on its own and has a heartbeat makes Tony feel like he needs a therapist.

Furthermore, the energy technology and science that Tony currently possesses, along with the technology he "tricked" into coming from the shield through various means, are sufficient to build a stable, efficient spaceship that also meets human aesthetic standards. Biotechnology can now only be considered a backup plan.

And just like that, half a year flew by.

The sun was shining brightly that day.

At the newly opened launch site outside the Avengers base, a streamlined, massive spaceship rests quietly on the launch platform.

Its design is very futuristic, with no obvious propulsion ports or weapon attachments visible on the surface, and a very prominent A-shaped logo in the center of the hull.

Beside the spaceship, Tony, Natasha, Clint, and the rest of the group were all ready to go, including the problematic Steve.

Tony hesitated about Steve, who seemed to be having problems. Strangely, Steve had been perfectly normal since that unusual, seemingly signaling behavior six months ago.

But this was just a facade; Tony knew the problem was never truly solved.

Bringing Steve along this time was a well-thought-out decision. Regardless of who was controlling Steve, he was still a controlled informant. Taking this informant away from Earth was far better than leaving him there.

Besides, the Avengers now are not the same as before. Even if Steve suddenly attacks, any one of them could easily go toe-to-toe with him for a whole day. No, it should be said that they could treat Steve like a turtle and beat him up.
